Abstract: In this paper, we consider the general form of the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony's pseudo-parabolic nonlinear equation (BBM)
in which we use the Hopf-Cole transformation [10]. We also set up a conjecture to get rid of several terms throughout our development.
Finally, we present a comparative analysis of solutions found either by the aforementioned transform or by the functional variable
method formulated by A. Zerarka [11]-[12]. Hence, we show that the result obtained by the approach of Hopf- Cole transformation has
some significant features.
Keywords: pseudo-parabolic nonlinear equation, generalized Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation (BBM), functional variable method,
Hopf-Cole transformation
1. Introduction
The Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation (BBM) [1] has been
studied for the first time as a regularized version of the
Korteweg De Vries (KdV) equation for modeling low
amplitude waves moving over a long surface under the
action of gravity; hence the name of regularized long wave
equation (RLW). The term "regularized" refers to the fact
that, from the point of view of such properties as existence,
uniqueness and stability, the BBM equation offers
considerable technical advantages over the KdV equation.
As the authors H. Zhang, GM Wei and Y.T. Gao [2] point
out, unlike the KdV equation, the BBM equation is not an
equation of evolution in the strict sense of the term,
following the appearance of
xxt
u
. The latter makes this
equation pseudo-parabolic [9] since the term of the highest
order of this equation has mixed derivatives (i.e. derivatives
dependent on both time and space). Investigations on exact
solutions of traveling waves of nonlinear evolution equations
play an important role in the study of non-linear physical
phenomena. Solitons are the most important types of
solutions among all traveling wave solutions. The existence
of multi-soliton, in particular two-soliton type solutions, is
crucial in information technologies: it makes possible the
simultaneous undisturbed propagation of several pulsations
in both directions [13].
In this paper, we attempt to linearize the following
generalized BBM equation:
10 xxtxxt uuuuu
with the coefficients
R ,,
, which respectively
correspond to the transport, nonlinearity and dispersion
coefficients. This equation describes the unidirectional
propagation of long waves.
u
: the amplitude or the velocity (or the speed of the flow)
x
: is proportional to the distance in the direction of fluid
flow
t
: the time of fluid flow
The classical form of Hopf-Cole transformation is applied in
the search for solution of the nonlinear diffusion equation. It
should be noted that Eq. (1) incorporates non-linear
dispersive and dissipative effects.
Although there are several ineluctably efficient methods by
which the multi-solution solutions of Eq. (1) can be derived,
the main aim of this paper is to present the remarkable
strength of the Hopf-Cole transformation [10]. We perform a
comparative analysis of our solution with a solution obtained
by the functional variable method formulated by A. Zerarka
[11]-[12].
2. Hopf-Cole Transformation

Step 5: By equaling the coefficients of most of the powers of
u
to zero, we obtain an algebraic equation of unknowns

finally get the solutions of our PDE.

Explaining the cancelling effects of different mechanisms
that act to change waveforms to result in a soliton wave,
Authors (2) pointed out the fact that these mechanisms
included dispersion, dissipation and nonlinearity either
separately or in various combinations.
We now make the conjecture that the cancelling act
concentrate on terms mixing up coefficient of dispersion
acting on such nonlinear terms as
xxtxt uuuu ,

and
xtxuu

Eq. (3) In one hand, Conservation laws clearly shows that

Which is equivalent to

That implies

Then

In the other hand, to satisfy

We solve this PDE by establishing

So we see that if

The interest of the obtained form is that it admits analytical
solutions for a large class of nonlinear equations.
Step 9: the integration of the expression obtained in step 8
provides the expression of

Step 10: the use of the formula of step 6 allow to construct
the possible solutions of the original equation of step 1.

It is clear that in case1, the set of exact solution of the
general form of BBM are solitary waves having the
profile
2
sech
. Hence, we have soliton-type solutions. On
the other hand, case2 gives us solutions of the type
compactons with the profile
2
sec
. Which clearly are not
solitons.
4. Conclusion
As a conclusion, we used the Hopf-Cole transformation [10]
to linearize Benjamin-Bona-Mahony's pseudo-parabolic
nonlinear generalized equation, and we obtained a suitable
form for determining a solution that was difficult to get in
the past. In addition, it is appropriate to note the ease of the
method, which offers a solution with the soliton profile. We
have also presented a comparative analysis of the results
obtained using the functional variable method [11]-[12], and
we note that solutions are visibly very close. Even if, we
have used two different methods, results are fascinating.
